sydney christopher smith was born about 1886 he was a stone mason he maried voilet louisa smith sept 1909 she was formally randall.
violet was born about 1891 at peckman london .
As you see they were married in 1909 but my grandma wasnt bon till 1915 difference of 6 yrs? then all i bielive is that they mad my gran ella may an orphan about the time she was 5 so 1920 sydney is on the birth cert so hes alive then violet signed daughters birth certiciate.

If she was an orphan, who was she raised by? maybe the mother died, and the father couldnt cope.........................this is very diificult with the name Smith, you were right.

well she was raised by 2 aged aunts thats wot we were told and found out louisa had 3 sisters sydney only had one so i think gran was brough up by her mums family , i did wonder if she was ever adopted with being a single child and being born 6 yrs after the wedding , even if one of them died i should be able to find it will just ahve to keep digging deeper !!.thanks xx

Have you searched the BMDs, on ancestry page by page, you know a search doesnt bring anything up after abt 1919, also if you have already had a free trial on ancestry, you can do it again, by using another email address and card.

just had a thought, do you have an address for your nan in the 1920s? you could search the electorl rolls, but this would mean a trip to London to the revelent Library, as they are not online.See whos at the address?
